5 Tips for Spring Cleaning

So it´s that time of the year again. Yup, you guessed it, Spring has finally sprung! Although it seems like it´s taken it´s time to come, it´s official...it´s here! I like to think that when a new season comes, especially Spring It´s like a new phase in the year and so a clean out is necessary, quite literally, for a good and effective Spring clean. As you know, I am a great believer that clutter bogs us down and curbs our creativity so let´s get started.

Springtime is the time for new beginnings; physically you let go of stuff, clean, and open up the house for the air and the light; psychologically you make room for new ideas and projects.

Below are my Top 5 tips for Spring Cleaning.

1. To do list: I´m a true believer and follower of to-do-lists. I find it very satisfying to check things off as I feel I have accomplished something. So, this is no different. Make a list of the things you wish to organize, tidy or simply tackle at home and get started.
2. Room-by-Room: This ensures you will have a stress free Spring Cleaning experience. It´s simple, just go room-by-room and tackle whatever you have on your to-do-list.
3. One season rule: The one season rule is simple, if you haven´t worn it in a season remove it. Yes that´s right, I like to narrow it down to ONE SEASON. Most of the times, we keep clothes we never wear because of their sentimental value or because we think we might wear it in the near future. So have a good look and remove anything you haven´t worn. I normally give the things I have removed to a local charity.
4. Make piles: This is especially useful for clothes. If the weather has finally gotten better and you want to do your wardrobe change, make a few piles before you take out your summer ones. One pile for things you want to keep and put away, another for things to give away and finally the last one for things to stay in your wardrobe.
5. Storage units: Make sure you have enough boxes, containers or storage units for the things you want to put away, such as clothes. With this, ensure you have anti-moth sachets to put into each box for protection.
